5/8" 19x7 Rotation-Resistant Wire Rope Cable

This 5/8" 19x7 rotation-resistant wire rope is engineered to minimize load rotation during lifting and hoisting operations. Featuring a high-strength Extra Improved Plow Steel (EIPS) construction and a specialized multi-strand design, this rope helps prevent spinning under load, making it an excellent choice for cranes, hoists, and other applications involving unguided loads. Its flexible construction also allows for easier handling and installation compared to many traditional wire rope designs.

Note: Rotation-resistant wire rope should not be used with swivels, as doing so can negatively affect rope performance and service life.

Rotation-Resistant Wire Rope for Hoisting & Crane Applications

The 19x7 construction utilizes strands laid in opposing directions, allowing the inner strands to counteract the rotational forces generated by the outer strands when under load. This design significantly reduces load spin and improves control when lifting unguided loads with a single-part line.

As a Category 2 rotation-resistant wire rope, the 19x7 construction features more than 10 outer strands, providing substantially greater resistance to rotation than Category 3 constructions such as 8x19 wire rope. Its high strand count also improves flexibility and handling characteristics, making installation and operation easier.

19x7 Wire Rope Configuration

This wire rope is manufactured using EIPS-grade (Extra Improved Plow Steel) steel. EIPS offers approximately 10% greater tensile strength than IPS-grade wire rope, resulting in improved breaking strength and dependable performance in demanding lifting environments.

The class of this wire rope is 19x7. These numbers nominally refer to the rope construction, consisting of 19 strands with approximately 3-14 wires per strand. This configuration provides an excellent balance of flexibility, strength, and rotation-resistant performance.

Bright Finish & IWRC Construction

This rope features a bright steel finish protected with A-1 petroleum-based lubricant applied to both internal and external wires. The lubricant reduces internal friction, minimizes wear, and provides basic protection against moisture and corrosion.

The Independent Wire Rope Core (IWRC) provides superior support compared to fiber core ropes. IWRC construction increases crush resistance, helps maintain rope shape under load, and performs reliably in temperatures ranging from -40°F to 400°F.
